battery cut off switch

Hi, I wanted to get one of those battery cut off switchs that still allow a little power to the radio and CPU, but cuts off power to the battery.

The reason I wanted this is that when I park my car for a few days, the battery dies just enough not to start the car, but enough to open the trunk.

My question is: If I put this on, pull the plug, and then shut the hood, will I be able to open it again without pulling the cable?

Any other ideas on fixing the problem of battery drain?
I already did the testing on the car with a volt meter, and nothing pulls a ton of power, but I think that combining the radio, CPU, alarm, alarm indicator lights drain the battery.

James
